| Abstract: | A pattern-matching feature for the Prolog language is described. Through the use of patterns, introduced as Prolog predicates, the feature favors the specification of string handling algorithms in a declarative style. A number of convenient pre-defined patterns, adapted from SNOBOL 4, are included. The use of two-level grammars as a paradigm for developing Prolog programs incorporating the pattern-matching feature is also discussed. |
